Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, a move that has now been made public. While this action does not confirm the imminent release of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is seriously considering reviving this beloved franchise.
By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be setting the stage for exciting future projects, including a potential remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the scene in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series saw two sequels but went quiet following the release of the third installment in 2003, leaving fans both puzzled and eager for more.

These speculations are grounded in solid evidence. Last year, Capcom announced its strategy to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of announcements for the Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Moreover, a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom in the summer of 2024 placed Dino Crisis at the top of the "most desired continuation" category, further stoking fans' hopes for a revival.
